Recommended Posts

Summer of 1998 my class went on a graduation road trip outwest. I remember listening to rush but its been so long cant remember which album or songs I enjoyed and I don't want to download every singe Rush song, because I don't have the space. Can someone list a few of their hits please.

 

Thanks

The funny thing about GH comps to me are usually that, for most bands, only 3 or 4 songs might've been actual radio hits, while the rest are just the band's chosen favorite songs

 

Although, looking through that list again, damn, I think the first 9 songs plus "Subdivisions" all still get radio airplay on the classic rock stations

 

Anyways, umm... Rush rules. That is all

Rush rules it. My two favorite tracks of theirs:

 

"YYZ"

"Show Don't Tell"

Rush memory:

 

1996, ripping around the shit town I lived in while listening to Caress Of FUCKING Steel on 8 track tape playing tag with a kid who owned a hatchback. Car chase fun, lots of near crashes. Mucho bangworthy tunes.

 

1980 Dodge Mirada + RUSH

 

It get's no better.

Fuck, how could I forget "Xanadu?" Best. Rush song. EVER.

There are three albums you need in their entirety - Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and 2112. Other than that, it's pretty much all good, but that's a decent place to start.

 

Also, how have we gotten to this point without anyone mentioning "A Passage to Bangkok"?

A year or so ago I did just that.

 

Just about anything up to, and including, Power Windows is fine with me...
